I wish Halloween was celebrated like Christmas

Boo!
I have settled on a theme for the NoBloPoMo challenge, I am going to do 30 days of things I love and some food-y stuff and life-y stuff and whatever else-y stuff I feel like. I have been compiling for a few weeks but I am still coming up short, maybe I will do my favorite recipes those days I have nothing else. I will try to put a song up each day too (I don’t think you can see the song if you use a reader). I am looking forward to a goal, I don’t seem to have enough goals in my life.

And since I won’t likely post tomorrow…
Happy Ghoulish, zombieish, vampireish, Halloweenish day!
Sandwichlicious
Does this make you hungry?
Because I already ate it and this picture makes me want 10 more at the very least. I love grilled sandwiches, and I really love to dip them in ketchup or if I am feeling REALLY naughty, ketchup mixed with mayonnaise.
OK I need more
Oh how I worship the sandwich gods.
In other breaking news I made Pot Pie
The crust is definitely not pretty but it was the best part. The sauce was bland at best, needed cheese, lots of cheese. It was eaten though, just heavily salted at the table. (I really need to turn the halogen spot light off when taking pictures)
See the crust? mmmm crust.
And to disjoint this post even further, I was fortunate to meet the lovely Mona
I think this picture captures Mona and Nathan’s awesome energy quite well. Nathan is very smiley to say the least, he also has the most gentle cry on any toddler/baby I have ever encountered. It could be compared to August screaming at the top of his lungs while submerged in the deep end of the pool, not that I would ever submerge August in the deep end of a pool while he was screaming, really I wouldn’t. The very beautiful and very pregnant Linda was there as well and we had a nice play date while talking loudly over multiple children, it’s safe to say Owen is the loudest of them all…my god 3 year olds are, um, noticeable? This is the only picture I got of all the BOYS (sort of) together, a bit blurry but captures the chaos decently.
It’s nice to meet mom’s that can be crass, sarcastic, and funny. Sure seems they are not in any sort of abundance.
Hold me to it
I might be getting in over my head but I feel I owe this blog, my wonderful readers and myself 30 days of consistent posting. Therefore I am committing to NoBloPoMo for a 2nd year.
Edited to add: Sorry I didn’t clarify for those of you that don’t know of NaBloPoMo, it takes place all over the Blogosphear for the month of November. You can read more about it here.
The pumpkins are lurking
Item #1. Is it at all fair to ask you to de-lurk seeing as I rarely post?
Would it help if I said I would love to make you dinner?
………
Item #2. Not sure you noticed but I took photo’s of the boys down. With all the stealing of images going on in blog world I just wasn’t feeling comfortable leaving my boys mugs up here. Hope you understand.
……..
Item #3. My house has become the land of no sleep. I am so pissed that I had 2 non-sleepers! I really must have pissed someone off sleeping until 2pm every weekend in high school. My mom told me it would bite me in the ass…sigh. August got some shots today and I broached the subject of sleep with the Dr. She has instilled a plan she swears will work, little does Pete know he is going to be the one instilling it (insert sinister laugh here). Something has to give, I feel weird, really weird. Last night I woke in August’s bed and had no recollection of getting there, none at all. What if I had changed plans as I lumbered towards August’s room? What if I decided to take the car out? or chop a tomato? or pee in the cat box…the possibilities are frightening. Lucky for me, I just woke up confused with MY baby asleep on my boob. Unfortunately the Dr feels it will get worse before it gets better, I’m not entirely sure how it can get worse, I’m scared.

Item #4. It’s that magical time of year…
PUMPKIN EVERYTHING! In this case, muffins. Who invented Fall? I would like to shake their hand.
…….
Item #6. Our deck, which is no longer. Our deck has been rotted for quite some time. We deemed it unsafe thinking we would fall through up to our thigh should it give underfoot, little did we know we would hit the hidden patio under it…
Don’t you love previous home owners? Why did the deck rot you ask? well they laid it on top of this lovely patio you see here which equals zero air flow making wood very unhappy. So we had to revise our deck plans, or take up a HUGE slab of concrete, we opted to revise. It is sort of a bummer putting in a fantastic new deck in October, can’t wait to get out there and enjoy it…in the rain.
…..
Thought I would include some “changing season” music. One of my all time favorite Fall albums, The Cure’s “Disintegration”, enjoy.
